| Description: | On this page, (pg. 110, The Canadian Pictorial & Illustrated War News, no date), correspondents write about events that took place during the 1885 Resistance including information about the situations of Métis refugees at Fort Pitt, Riel’s imprisonment, White Cap’s Band and their captors, as well information about the experiences of Canada’s soldiers. Of particular note is Nicolas Flood Davin’s account of Louis Riel in captivity: “…he is perfectly rational and maintains that he only fought for the rights of half-breeds and is not a rebel – the half-breeds never having acknowledged the Dominion Government”. The text on this page is contextual information for several images that appear in this collection. |
